Eldron Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 For the 2 or 3 of you that are still not Van der Poel fanboys - watch this! What is doesn't show is VDP start sprinting, sit down, push Sinkeldam out of the way (Sinkeldam drifted across the whole road to block VDP), sprint again and put tons of daylight between himself and the field. An amazing athlete!
Schnavel Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Solid sprint! Accelerated away from the rest of the field like a bat out of hell - well deserved win.
Eldron Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 Here is an overhead! http://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/mathieu-van-der-poel-dutch-champs/
LongDonkey Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Jan Vien van den van din.... whatever.... dens van Din Din..... hahahaha
Eldron Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 I just found out that Mathieu's grandfather is Raymond Poulidor. Not a bad set of genes in the lad!
jcza Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 And his father is Adrie van der Poel. Winner of LBL, Flanders, AmStel Gold and Silver medal behind Lemond at Worlds. Also CX World Champ.
Underachiever Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I love this kid. Just too bad he messed up the Cx Worlds, then would have had a dream season. His battles with WvA are inspirational!! Hope for some more battles with Nino at the next XCO WC.
Shebeen Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 i think he might be on a beautiful collision course with Sagan. two amazingly gifted, versatile bike riders who clean up all the time. cx/mtb/road it doesn't matter - bring it on! there was a video the other day of him trying to catch the break, he took the corner wide and fast, bunny hopping the island
Popit Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Love this kid .....Wait till the Wolf Pack throw their cheque book at him ..........
Eldron Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Val di sole - Van der Poel 1 - Schurter 2 at the short course!
EvanB Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I always thought the rule was you weren't allowed to remove your hands off the bars in a sprint, surprised he want DQ'd for pushing the other rider
Eldron Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 It turns out there IS nothing he cant do. First Dutchman to hold CX, road and mtb national titles simultaneously! What a talent!
